Detection of Four Porcine Enteric Coronaviruses Using CRISPR-Cas12a Combined with Multiplex Reverse Transcriptase Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay

Porcine enteric coronaviruses have caused immense economic losses to the global pig industry, and pose a potential risk for cross-species transmission. The clinical symptoms of the porcine enteric coronaviruses (CoVs) are similar, making it difficult to distinguish between the specific pathogens by symptoms alone. Here, a multiplex nucleic acid detection platform based on CRISPR/Cas12a and multiplex reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) was developed for the detection of four diarrhea CoVs: porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV), and swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV). With this strategy, we realized a visual colorimetric readout visible to the naked eye without specialized instrumentation by using a ROX-labeled single-stranded DNA-fluorescence-quenched (ssDNA-FQ) reporter. Our method achieved single-copy sensitivity with no cross-reactivity in the identification and detection of the target viruses. In addition, we successfully detected these four enteric CoVs from RNA of clinical samples. Thus, we established a rapid, sensitive, and on-site multiplex molecular differential diagnosis technology for porcine enteric CoVs.

The RNAs of clinical samples of PEDV, TGEV, and PDCoV were extracted from the supernatant of virus-infected cells or tissues samples. SADS-CoV RNA was transcribed in vitro. Specifically, the SADS-CoV-N plasmid was amplified using a forward primer  Table S2). The volume of the PCR assay was 20 µL, composed of 10 µL of Extaq Mix, the prime mixture (10 pmol forward primer and 10 pmol reverse primer), and 5 ng of the DNA template. The PCR product was purified using a PCR Purification Kit (Beijing, China, Tianmo Sci&Tech Development). The amplified purified PCR product then served as the DNA template for the in vitro transcription reactions using the HiScribe™ T7 High Yield RNA Synthesis Kit (E2040S, NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. The in vitro transcribed RNA was purified by acid-phenol-chloroform (NEB) extraction and resuspended in RNase-free water following isopropanol precipitation. The concentration of the RNA was quantified by a NanoDrop One™ spectrophotometer (Software version 2.7, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

Preparation of sgRNAs
SgRNAs targeting conserved genes were designed with CRISPR-offinder software [30]. The designed sgRNA was complemented to the target sites with a "5 TTTN" protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) in the DNA strand opposite the target sequences (Supplementary Table S2). The sgRNA templates were amplified from a pUC57-T7-sgRNA (Supplementary  Table S1) using a forward primer containing a T7 promoter and a reverse primer containing different nucleotide target sequences. Then, sgRNAs were transcribed and purified in vitro.

CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with PCR Assay
Primers were designed by Primer Premier 5.0 (PREMIER Biosoft) based on the highly conserved sequences of the ORF3 gene targeting PEDV, which were synthesized and cloned into the pMD18T vector (Supplementary Table S1). PCR assay was performed in a thermal cycler PCR system with an amplification reaction as follows: 30 cycles of denaturation at 94 • C for 30 s, annealing at 55 • C for 30 s, extension at 72 • C for 16 s, and a final extension at 72 • C for 5 min. Upon completion, 3 µL of each sample was isolated for agarose gel electrophoresis analysis and the Cas12a cleavage assay. The primers used for PCR are listed in Supplementary Table S1. All primers were synthesized by TSINGKE (Beijing, China).

Sensitivity of CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with PCR Assay
The copy number of the PEDV-ORF3 plasmid containing a 320 bp sequence was calculated based on the plasmid, and the insert molecular weight was as follows: number of copies = (amount × 6.022 × 10 23 )/(length × 1 × 10 9 × 660) (https://toptipbio.com/ dna-copy-number-qpcr/, accessed on 20 February 2022). The plasmid DNA was serially diluted from 8 × 10 7 to 1 × 10 0 copies/µL. PCR was performed on the dilution series, and the 3 µL products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. Parallel samples were then analyzed using the Cas12a cleavage reaction, incubated at 37 • C for 15 min and inactivated at 98 • C for 2 min, and the fluorescence was read using a blue or UV Light Transilluminator or a microplate reader.

Optimization of the CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with LAMP Assay (LAMP-Cas12a)
Several sets of LAMP primer pairs were designed based on the highly active sgRNA targeting the PEDV ORF3 gene (Supplementary Table S1), and the PEDV-ORF3 plasmid LAMP reactions were incubated at 65 • C for 40 min and then inactivated at 85 • C for 5 min. The 3 µL products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis or by the Cas12a cleavage reaction. The best primer pairs were then determined based on their fluorescence intensity combined with gel electrophoresis bands to determine the strategy for the LAMP-Cas12a assay.
The range of reaction temperatures (T) or times (t) for the LAMP amplification assay are broad; the temperature range is 50-72 • C, and the time range is greater than or equal to 5 or 10 min. Therefore, different temperatures or times were designed according to the reaction range to determine the reaction conditions for this experiment. First, to determine the reaction temperature, a total of eight temperature ( • C) gradients-53, 55, 57.5, 60, 62.5, 65, 67.5, 71-were designed, and the reaction temperature of the negative control was 65 • C. Then, to determine the reaction time, a total of eight reaction times (min) -5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45-were designed, and the reaction time of the negative control was 45 min. Finally, the analysis of the LAMP amplification products was consistent with the above.

Sensitivity of the CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with LAMP Assay
The copy number of the plasmid DNA was calculated based on the plasmid and insert molecular weight. The plasmid DNA was serially diluted from 1 × 10 4 to 1 × 10 −1 copies/µL. LAMP assay was performed on the dilution series, and the 3 µL products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. Parallel samples were then analyzed using the Cas12a cleavage reaction, incubated at 37 • C for 10 min and inactivated at 98 • C for 2 min, and the fluorescence was read using a blue or UV Light Transilluminator or a microplate reader.

Specificity of the CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with LAMP Assay
First, to evaluate the specificity of the LAMP primer pairs, the four plasmid DNA samples (10 ng) of the diarrhea CoVs were amplified with the following pairs of primers: PEDV-LAMP-2, TGEV-LAMP-1, PDCoV-LAMP-1, and SADS-CoV-LAMP-1 (Supplementary Table S2). LAMP reactions were incubated at 65 • C for 20 min and inactivated at 85 • C for 5 min, and the products were verified by agarose gel electrophoresis. Then, to further determine the specificity of the sgRNA of the CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay, four amplicons were assayed using the Cas12a detection method with the specific sgRNA (Supplementary Table S2).

CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with RT-LAMP Assay
To determine whether the RT-LAMP-Cas12a assay can be used for the detection of RNA viruses, PEDV RNA was amplified using the RT-LAMP assay, and the products were cleaved by Cas12a. To further increase the accuracy of Cas12a, the two systems, RT-LAMP amplification and Cas12a cleaved assay, were integrated into one system. The 25 µL reagent was administered into the bottom of the tube containing the RT-LAMP reaction solution and 12.5 µM ROX-dye ssDNA-FQ reporter. The pipe cap reagent contained 1000 nM of sgRNA, 500 nM of the Cas12a protein, and 2 µL of NEBuffer 2.1. In addition, paraffin oil was added to the liquid surface to prevent evaporation and to control temperature. Reactions were incubated at 65 • C for 40 min and incubated at 37 • C for 15 min after centrifugation to observe the colorimetric/fluorescence readouts.

Detection of PDEV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV by a Multiplex LAMP-Cas12a Assay
To address a coinfection scenario in actual production, a plasmid DNA mixture of PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV (1:1:1:1) was amplified using multiplex LAMP with an optimized primer ratio. The multiplex LAMP reactions were incubated at 65 • C for 20 min and inactivated at 85 • C for 5 min. In addition, paraffin oil was added to the liquid surface to prevent evaporation and to control the temperature. The pipe cap reagent contained 1000 nM of sgRNA, 500 nM of the Cas12a protein, and 2 µL of NEBuffer 2.1. After the multiplex LAMP reaction, the CRISPR/Cas12a solution was centrifuged to observe the colorimetric/fluorescence readout. The amplicons were analyzed using the Cas12a cleavage reaction, incubated at 37 • C for 20 min, and inactivated at 98 • C for 2 min. The co-infected viruses were distinguished by different CRISPR/Cas12a assays.

Development and Optimization of PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV Detection Based on CRISPR/Cas12a Cleavage Assay
To establish CRISPR-/Cas12a-based nucleic acid detection technology for PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV, we first identified the most active sgRNA to detect each CoVs. We designed seven sgRNAs targeting the PEDV ORF3 gene ( Figure S1A), and used the PEDV-ORF3 plasmid as a template for amplification ( Figure S1B). We then collected the PCR purified products as the DNA template and the complementary ssDNA activator targeted by the sgRNA sequence to test the activity of the seven sgRNAs. The results showed that an sgRNA named sgRNA5 showed the highest activity ( Figure 1A and Figure S1C,D). We then identified the sgRNAs with the highest activity against the TGEV N gene, the PDCoV N gene, and the SADS-CoV N gene, which were sgRNA2, sgRNA9, and sgRNA6, respectively ( Figure S2 and Figure 1B-D).
In addition, the colorimetric signals of CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay using JOE-N12-BHQ1 and ROX-N12-BHQ2 reporters were compared. We found that the reaction of using ROX-N12-BHQ2 as a reporter could be clearly observed with directly naked eye ( Figure S1C,D). The solution changed visibly as the concentration of the ssDNA-FQ reporter increased ( Figure S1E,F), indicating that the selection of ROX-N12-BHQ2 as ssDNA-FQ reporter facilitates CRISPR/Cas12a nucleic acid visual detection, and the optimal concentration was 12.5 µM ( Figure S1F). To further improve the naked-eye detectability of the colorimetric signal of CRISPR/Cas12a nucleic acid detection, we optimized the concentrations of the sgRNA and the Cas12a enzyme, and the results showed that the optimal concentrations were 1 µM and 0.5 µM, respectively (Figure S1G,H).

Establishment of the CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with LAMP Assay for the Detection of PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV
Next, a CRISPR/Cas12a combined with LAMP assay was established for the detection of four pathogenic swine enteric CoVs. We designed four sets of LAMP primers based on sgRNA5 targeting the PEDV ORF3 gene, and selected the best primer pairs by gel electrophoresis and the CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay. As shown in Figure S3A,B, the LAMP-2 primer pairs for PEDV had the highest amplification efficiency. The temperature range for LAMP amplification was between 57.5 • C and 67.5 • C, and 65 • C was used as the optimal reaction temperature in our study ( Figure S3C,E). When the amplification time (t) was ≥15 min (Lane 2), the LAMP products at 65 • C using the LAMP-2 primer pairs could be clearly detected in the CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay with the naked eye ( Figure S3F). However, the most appropriate amplification time was 20 min by agarose gel electrophoresis ( Figure S3D).
For TGEV, the results showed that the primer pairs LAMP-2, LAMP3, and LAMP-4 caused false-positive readouts after visual detection by CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay in the no-template controls ( Figure S4B). Thus, the best LAMP amplification primer pair for the TGEV N gene was LAMP-1 ( Figure S4A-C). There was no significant difference in the amplification efficiency of PDCoV. In subsequent experiments, LAMP-1 was selected as the target primer pair for the PDCoV N gene ( Figure S5A,B). Similarly, LAMP-1 was chosen as the best primer pair for the SADS-CoV N gene ( Figure S6A-C).

Sensitivity Comparison between CRISPR/Cas12a Combined with PCR and LAMP Assays for the Detection of PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV
We evaluated the sensitivity of the PCR or LAMP-Cas12a assay for the detection of four pathogenic swine enteric CoVs. The PEDV-ORF3 plasmid DNA was diluted from 8 × 10 7 to 8 × 10 0 copies/µL for PCR reaction. As shown in Figure S7A, the limit of detection (LoD) for the PCR assay was 8 × 10 2 copies/µL according to the concentration gradient test (Lane 6). Subsequently, the PCR amplification products of ORF3 were further digested by Cas12a cleavage assay and then detected by the blue or UV Light Transilluminator. The results showed that the sensitivity of the PCR-Cas12a assay for PEDV could reach 8 × 10 2 copies/µL using the plasmid containing ORF3 as template (tube 6) ( Figure S7B), but the LoD with the naked eye detection of PEDV by PCR-Cas12a was 8 × 10 3 copies/µL (Lane 5) ( Figure S7B). Furthermore, we collected the fluorescence signal values of the colorimetric/fluorescence Cas12a cleavage assay through a multifunctional microplate reader, and the result was the same as those of the blue or UV light assay ( Figure S7C).
To further evaluate the sensitivity of the LAMP-Cas12a assay, we diluted the plasmid DNAs of PEDV-ORF3, TGEV-N, PDCoV-N, and SADS-CoV-N from 1 × 10 4 to 1 × 10 −1 copies/µL. As shown in Figure 2A,C,E,G, the LoD for LAMP-Cas12a with the naked eye almost reached a single copy (tube 6), corresponding with the LoD of the multifunctional microplate reader ( Figure 2B,D,F,H), which had a sensitivity a thousand times higher than that of the PCR-Cas12a assay ( Figure S7).

Specificity Analysis of the LAMP-Cas12a Assay for the Detection of Four Porcine Coronaviruses
To confirm the specificity of the LAMP-Cas12a assay, we evaluated the specificity of the LAMP primer pairs and the sgRNA. First, LAMP primer pairs targeting the PEDV ORF3 gene, the TGEV N gene, the PDCoV N gene, or the SADS-CoV N gene were used to amplify the four viral plasmids above. The results showed that each set of primer pairs could only amplify the unique band of the plasmid containing the target gene, indicating that the LAMP primer pairs designed for each virus in this study were specific ( Figure 3A). Subsequently, to verify the specificity of the sgRNA, the highly active sgRNAs of the four CoVs were analyzed by the colorimetric/fluorescence Cas12a cleavage assay. As shown in Figure 3B, only the tube containing the corresponding target fragment had colorimetric/fluorescence signals, while the other tubes had no signal readout, Thus, the sgRNA identified in this study is specific.

Detection of Clinical RNA Samples of the Four Porcine Coronaviruses with an RT-LAMP-Cas12a Assay
To apply this newly developed method to field samples, we attempted to detect viral RNA with RT-LAMP-Cas12a directly in a one-tube assay ( Figure 4A). As shown in Figure 4B, strong visual colorimetric/fluorescence signals appeared when samples had the corresponding virus. In the no-template control, there was no visual colorimetric/fluorescence signal. Therefore, the method based on CRISPR/Cas12a combined with RT-LAMP assay realized the detection of RNA in clinical samples. In addition, the one-tube operation process has the potential to reduce the aerosol pollution caused by opening the cover, and can also save time. Therefore, one-tube detection will become a useful method for detecting viral infections.  that the LAMP primer pairs designed for each virus in this study were specific ( Figure  3A). Subsequently, to verify the specificity of the sgRNA, the highly active sgRNAs of the four CoVs were analyzed by the colorimetric/fluorescence Cas12a cleavage assay. As shown in Figure 3B, only the tube containing the corresponding target fragment had colorimetric/fluorescence signals, while the other tubes had no signal readout, Thus, the sgRNA identified in this study is specific.

Detection of the Four Porcine Coronaviruses by a Multiplex LAMP-Cas12a Assay
In clinical cases, the symptoms of pig diarrhea are generally caused by cross-infection. Multiplex amplification is able to amplify multiple target genes simultaneously in one reaction, which can greatly improve detection efficiency. In the process of multiplex RT-LAMP amplification, primer pairing and competitive amplification could cause many problems, such as dimerizations, nonspecific amplification, and low amplification efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the concentration ratio of the primers for each target sequence. First, we explored the concentration ratio of LAMP primers for amplifying the PEDV ORF3 gene and the TGEV N gene, and established a double-LAMP amplification combined with the CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay. The results showed that the PEDV ORF3 gene and the TGEV N gene could be amplified simultaneously in one-tube reaction assay (Figure S8A), and lower concentrations (1/2 or 1/3 of the original concentration) of LAMP amplification primers targeting the PEDV-ORF3 gene were beneficial to CRISPR/Cas12a visual detection ( Figure S8B). This suggested that appropriately reducing the primer concentration could prevent the interaction between primer sequences to a certain extent.

First, we explored the concentration ratio of LAMP primers for amplifying the PEDV ORF3 gene and the TGEV N gene, and established a double-LAMP amplification combined with the CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay. The results showed that the Subsequently, triple-LAMP amplification was established to identify PEDV, TGEV, and PDCoV simultaneously. The results showed that the LAMP amplification primer pairs targeting the TGEV N gene had a strong amplification ability, and the primer concentration had little effect on it ( Figure S8C). However, the LAMP amplification efficiencies of PEDV and PDCoV depended on the primer concentration ( Figure S8D). Based on the above results, we established quadruple-LAMP amplification ( Figure S8E,F). The results showed that the concentration of LAMP primer pairs targeting the TGEV N gene had no significant effect on its amplification efficiency, while the amplification efficiencies of the PEDV ORF3 gene, the PDCoV N gene and the SADS-CoV N gene were positively correlated with primer concentration ( Figure S8F). It was suggested that the primer concentrations for PEDV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV could be appropriately increased, and the primer concentration for TGEV could be reduced to achieve better detection efficiency with multiplex LAMP amplification.
To balance the amplification efficiency of multiplex LAMP and enhance the colorimetric/fluorescence readout of the CRISPR/Cas12a cleavage assay, we adjusted the LAMP primer concentrations (2/5, 6/25, 3/5, and 3/5 of the original concentrations for PEDV, TGEV, PDCoV, and SADS-CoV, respectively). In addition, to avoid aerosol pollution, we established a one-tube multiplex LAMP combined with the CRISPR/Cas12a system ( Figure 5A), which was successfully used for the plasmid DNA of the four porcine CoVs ( Figure 5B).

Discussion
To simplify the detection and on-site diagnosis, we developed a multiplex nucleic acid detection method based on CRISPR/Cas12a and multiplex RT-LAMP for the detection of four porcine diarrhea CoVs. Several studies have reported gel-based PCR and qPCR for the simultaneous detection of porcine diarrheal viruses [32]. In comparison, multiplex LAMP-Cas12a assay has the following advantages: when combined with RT-LAMP, complete reverse transcription and amplification can be completed at constant temperature. We found that the LoD for LAMP-Cas12a with the naked eye reached a single copy, which indicated a sensitivity a thousand times higher than that of PCR-Cas12a (from 8 × 10 2 to 8 × 10 3 copies/μL) visual detection of the four CoVs. The possible reason is that the amplification and detection efficiency in combination with LAMP is higher than that in PCR. Thus, the multiplex LAMP-Cas12a assay had potentially achieved the sensitivity of a single copy, but further validation was required, while the use of the CRISPR/Cas12a system guaranteed a higher detection specificity, based on Cas12a nuclease and sgRNA detection and typing of target DNA. In addition, as the ORF3 gene of

In addition, as the ORF3 gene of PEDV has been used in several reports to differentiate between field-and vaccine-derived isolates, it was chosen in this study for the detection of classical PEDV strains [33].
To achieve naked-eye visual detection of viruses, a variety of ssDNA-FQ reporters have been developed [31]. The ROX-labeled ssDNA-FQ reporter allows a direct interpretation of the assay results by observation of visual colorimetric changes with the naked eye [31]. This ssDNA-FQ reporter could be synthesized stably from biological companies in large quantities, in contrast to the expensive gold nanoparticles used in Cas12a/Cas13a-AuNP visual assays [34][35][36][37][38]. The operation process of the one-tube method does not require the transfer of pre-amplified products, which avoids false-positive readouts due to aerosol contamination by pre-amplified product formation [39,40] and saves detection time. For example, the total detection time of the multiplex LAMP-Cas12a assay is only about 25 min.
Compared with other previously reported nucleic acid detection platforms based on CRISPR, which could only detect one pathogen per test [18,19,41], our multiplex LAMP-Cas12a assay could amplify four pathogens with only one-tube reaction, greatly improving diagnosis efficiency. The SHERLOCK V2 platform performed four-channel multiplex detection using different orthogonal cas effectors, and the CARMEN method was able to simultaneously differentiate 169 pathogens in a microwell array [42,43]. However, they both require specialized instruments and expensive experimental reagents, making them difficult to apply to on-site diagnostics. A multiplex RT-RPA combined with separate LbCas12a/AuNP visual assay, reported to simultaneously detect five viruses in apples, has application prospects for on-site deployment in the field [44]. Compared with preamplification by multiplex RT-RPA, our LAMP-Cas12a assay combined with multiplex isothermal amplification assays is cost-effective and more sensitive (almost up to single copy). In fact, it is very difficult to simultaneously detect four CoVs in a single tube, so while our method using only multiplex RT-LAMP is performed simultaneously, it requires different CRISPR/Cas12a assays to distinguish co-infected viruses. In the future, we plan to continue to improve the multiplex LAMP-Cas12a assay in a single tube.

Conclusions
Taken together, we successfully established a multiplex, field-deployable, and visual naked-eye detection method for the detection of four porcine diarrhea epidemic CoVs in one test. This newly developed viral RNA diagnostic method can help diagnose the status and prevalence of four porcine enteric CoVs.
